As time flies by! Not a lot to be excited about , but, less rain. The bayou and rivers still very high and still lots of stuff floating down to the lake.
Bottled up the Banana wine and it turned out pretty good. Gave away quite a few samples in the 350 ml bottles.


Have one of the large bottles aging at present and still about a dozen small bottle left. 

Cuz from Tepetate gave me some muscadine grape a few days ago and that is being converted to wine at present. Trying a new style for the first fermenting and just using regular baking yeast so we'll see what that leads to. Hydro reading is 1.075 at the start with 10 lbs of sugar in 4.5 gallons of slush. I took all the skin off the grapes so it's not going to be a dark wine.  Just started yesterday so gonna be awhile. 

On the motorcycle front. 
Bandit is doing good with the fiber plug I had to put in the rear tire last month. No air loss over normal. Did do a beach run to PA last week and checked out the park North of PA and nothing new there. Then done a straight I 10 run from Orange to Jennings,  Been awhile since run that much interstate road. 
KLR  burned out the right LED signal indicator light so replace it with a green one this time. Left the Left side red.  Last fill up was 4.01 gallons for 240.8 miles on the ometer. So , the new sprocket combo I put on  is doing good.  15/42 is the set up now over 15/43 stock. Also makes 1st gear a bit more usable for what I do. 
Other than that, I just try to ride one of them everyday. ;-) 

Let's see.  There was the Police and EMS memorial service last Thursday and had to all be held indoors due to rain. About 100 peeps attended according to the newspaper. Get to see a lot of the peeps I use to work with in that function. But, so many new ones. LOl Us old ones keep retiring or dying off. 

Really nothing happening boat wise due to the high water and trash in the water. 

That's about it for this go round so till the next.
